Glossybox #3 - February 2012

Today I finally got their regular Glossybox, in the really light pink box, when I first saw it I thought it was white! It definitely looks very sleek. But I got shower gel, yet again!

Here is what I got.
1.    DUWOP Venom Gloss in Buttercup (5ml Sample Size)
It is a really pretty colour, but it was barely noticeable on my lips, plus I don’t like plumping glosses because of the plumping tingling sensation.

Visit www.shop.duwop.com and get 20% off any full sized Venom Gloss by entering the code GlossyVG12. (Expires 31/03/2012)

2.    IMPRESS Press-on Manicure in Holla! (Full Size)
I am yet to try these out, but the pattern is really lovely. I suspect that they may be too small for some of my nails though! You also get a nail prep pad, to prep your nail before you start pressing the nails on.

3.    AWAPUHI by PAUL MITCHELL Wild Ginger Treatment Oil (25ml Size)
I haven’t tried this yet because I am a bit dubious, because my hair is really oily and this is an oil based product, and it doesn’t make sense to add more oil to oily hair!!! I might read about it a bit more and then maybe give it a go! It is worth £7.50!


4.    BM BEAUTY Pure Mineral Eyeshadow in Dusty Road (1g Sample Size)
I haven’t tried this yet because loose eyeshadows are quite messy. The thing about single eyeshadows in beauty boxes is that you may not get the colour you like, but I definitely love this colour and I will try this soon. It has very good pigment and it is also sparkly and shimmery, so it should make a good lid colour.


5.    COMO SHAMBHALA Invigorative Shower Gel (50ml Sample Size)
I have used this and it smells really nice and fresh. You can definitely smell the eucalyptus, geranium, lavender and peppermint in it. It also lavers really well too.


You can also get 15% off tickets for London Fashion Week by quoting the code: GLOSSYBOX.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink
